I'm looking for best practices for forum moderating. Any ideas? I've found studies on forums and forum moderators, but I'm looking for very practical tips to give to a few young volunteers that I have moderating forums and a Ning.

HICSS-43 (2010) will be held from January 5-8, 2010 at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa, Koloa, Kauai, HI/USA. The e-Government Track will host eight minitracks: * Development Methods for Electronic Government * Emerging Topics * E-Participation, e-Citizenship, and Digital Democracy * E-Policy, e-Governance, Ethics, and Law * E-Services and Information * Information Security * Infrastructure and Interoperability * Organization and Management Submission deadline: June 15, 2009 For details please see http://faculty.washington.edu/jscholl/hicss43/ Among e-Government scholars the HICSS e-Government Track has an excellent reputation. Several times it has been ranked the academically most rigorous research conference on e-Government in the world. Having a paper accepted at the e-Gov Track at HICSS means something. Best wishes, Jochen Scholl HICSS-43 E-Government Track ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2009 14:35:21 -0800 (PST) From: Kristi Scott <k_nscott@yahoo.com> Subject: [Air-L] Final Push: Master's Thesis Survey To: AIR-L <air-l@listserv.aoir.org>, SLED <educators@lists.secondlife.com> Message-ID: <976085.35870.qm@web53507.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hello everyone, I am doing some research for my master's thesis examining the Second Life avatar and real world self. The purpose of this research study is to better understand the personality of the real world self and primary avatar. If you could take a few minutes of your time to take this survey it would be incredibly helpful to my research. Also, please feel free to circulate the link as I'd like to get as many respondents as possible. The survey will be available for one more week, so this is the final push. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Nyu9US_2b1sE98ZOmEWojwqg_3d_3d Thank you!
